An excellent location to immerse yourself in the distinguished viennese coffee house culture. As opposed to cafe shwarzenberg, the servers at hegelhof are not snobbish and will not shrug you off, which is why we left shwarzenberg to come to this cafe instead. We spent sometime here just chatting and evading from cold weather. We had viennese coffee and the Sachertorte (viennese chocolate cake) as a combo for a pretty reasonable price. There are also brunch and dinner plate here which looked very palatable for a very good price as well. What's the most important to enjoy here though, is the atmosphere. If I had more time I would spend an entire afternoon here either to talk to friends or to read books.

I was told these Viennese cafes are places to sit and read. However long you wish. I hear the…read morewaiters can come off as rude. I heard this is where locals go. All true in my opinion. It was a tight space. They sat me with someone I didn't know. All good. She read. I looked around. Took the place in sipping on my Viennese coffee and eating a pastry. It was quite the experience. I didn't know what to make of it. If I enjoyed it or was there to just be there. It doesn't matter. It was one of those experiences that will always be with me. The rain. The stuffiness. The smells. The people. I did love it.

I wanted a spot to stop in, relax a little, and enjoy a drink one afternoon, and Cafe Jelinek was…read moreright around the corner from my hotel. Perfect. The place is cozy, warm, and has some old-school charm. There were people meeting and chatting, and a couple folks studying and on their computers. I didn't try any cakes (though they were tempting) but I did enjoy a grüner veltliner and a white wine gespritzt. The server seemed a little brusque until he realized I spoke German, but I was seated in a spot where I could easily flag down the server so service was prompt. If you're looking for that Viennese cafe experience, this is a good spot to check out!

LOCATION: The cafe is in the Franziskanerplatz in the inner city, a perfect stop for those exploring Vienna. EXPERIENCE: I entered this cafe for a supper one late afternoon. As the name suggests, the cafe is small, making for a cozy feeling. I enjoyed a sliced ham sandwich (Schinkenbrot) which brought to mind how outside the U.S. even something as mundane as an open-faced sandwich is prepared and presented to make the best of the ingredients. A layer of ground horseradish was spread on the long slice of bread, and the attractively folded layers of ham were topped with freshly grated cheese. SERVICE: I experienced swift and efficient service during my visit. TIPS: The cafe only accepts cash.

For dinner, I had the quesadilla (twice - the portions were not too large), and I had a very nicely done vegetable omelet when visiting for breakfast. It can be really busy at rush hour and very popular. It has a touristy look and feel (it's located in quite a central place) but is great for people-watching. Go there for a drink and a bite. You will not regret it!
